Love Is Deaf II

A word from The Nashville Scene about tonight's show, which Tom & I are happy to be a part of: An instant Nashville tradition on arrival last year, this irresistible night of atonal amour is a couples-only affair onstage, as more than two dozen Nashville musicians and their musician-or-not significant others team up to sing duets — which last year meant anything from Laurie George & Dan Baird doing “You Don’t Miss Your Water” to hosts Anna & Michael Webb proving the world hasn’t had enough of “Silly Love Songs.” This year’s songs are still hush-hush — although we understand Helen Stevens & Bill DeMain plan to leave us in XTC — but couples so far include Andrea Barrett & Jason White, Kristi Rose & Fats Kaplin, Jill & Billy Block, Charlotte & Peter Cooper, and Sabine Schlunk & JJ Jones. Best of all, there’s no cover — proof that somebody up there loves ya. Sat., Feb. 13, 8 p.m., 2010
